NEWS BY TELEGRAPH
Associated Press Dispatch?*.
FROM WASHINGTON.
South Carolina Counted for Hayes--A
Lull in the Excitement.
Rumors About Hayes’ Southern Policy.
Representative Schleicher
to the Front.
Southern Senators Arriving—Gossip
and Notes on the Situation.
Grant Refuses to Make any Change in
His Southern Policy.
"Washington, Feb. 27.—T he letter
telegraphed yesterday cannot be lo--
cated, but it exists, and partly ae-counts
for the progress which has
been allowed to be made in the
count. The Herald’s Washington
special says regarding it:
“There is a letter in town from
Gov. Hayes himself, which approves
in the most direct and explicit man-ner
of the speech of Mr. Foster last
week, in which ho expressed his eon-fident
belief that Haye’s Southern
policy would be such as the people of
Louisiana and South Carolina de-sired.”
The same special says that Sheri-dan
has gone to Columbus to inform
Gov. Hayes of the condition of
things in Louisiana. He is an old
acquaintance of Gov. Hayes, and is
an opponent of Packard.
There were no manifestations of
feeling this morning. Ultra republi-cans
claim that the lull was produced
by protests from commercial centers
against the attempt to defeat the
count on account of the trade dis
turbance which would follow, while
ultra conservatives attribute it to
high assurances that the South will
be treated fairly.
In the commission four hours is
allowed on each side for argument in
the South Carolina case, but it is
thought that hardly half the time
will be used. It is thought that the
commission will take the case by
three o’clock. The House isin Com-mittec
of the Whole on sundry bills.
The Senate re-assembled at ten
o’clock, and in accordance with no-tice
given yesterday, Mr. McDonald
called up the House resolution in
respect to the memory of the late
Speaker Kerr, and appropriate eulo-
S'es were delivered by Messrs. Me-onald,
Wallace, Wright, Bayard,
Booth and Morton, after which the
resolutions were unanimously agreed
to.
Washington, Feb. 27.—House—
Most of the session was spent in con-sideration
of the sundry civil appro-priation
bill, which however was
not completed.
A bill to provide for vacancies in
the office of President and Vice Pres-ident,
that may arise through the
failure of the two houses to count the
electoral vote, was introduced by
Field, of New York, from the com-mittee
of privileges and elections,
and after some discussion it was
passed. The only deviations from a
party vote were in the fact that Pur-man’
of Florida, voted with the
democrats, and 13 democrats, inclu-ding
Hancock, of Texas, and Knott,
of Kentucky, voted with the repub-licans.
The bill provides that in case of
tuch vacancy in the Presidential of-lice,
it shall be filled by the President
of the Senate if there be one, or the
Speaker of the House if there be
one, or by the Secretary of State in
office at the time the vacancy hap-pens.
A motion to suspend the rules and
adopt a resolution recognizing the
democratic governments of Louis-iana
and South Carolina was made
by Schleicher of Texas, but failed
for want of a two-thirds majority.
So also with a resolution offered by
Watterson, of Kentucky, commend-ing
the President for his report and
opinions in support of the Nicholls
government in Louisiana.
The clause to pay Southern mail
contractors for work done before the
war, was restored to the sundry
ciyil bill. The House then took a
recess to ten o’clock to-morrow, by
a vote of 120 to 119.
Senate—A petition from citizens
of Washington to use the rotunda of
the Capitol for the inauguration, was
referred to the committee on build-iugs.
The bill creating a sinking fund
for the Pacific railroad, was post-poned
to December next.
The bill for erecting public build-iugs
at Austin, Texas, passed.
The House bill which passed to-day,
regarding vacancies in the office
of President, was road by title and
referred to the committee on privi-leges
and elections.
John T. Morgan, Senator elect
from Alabama, presented his ere-dentials.
The impreseion still prevails among
employees of the House that a count
will be finally prevented, but in
more thoughtful circles the hope or
fear of it is aboudoned.
Senator Sherman,Stanley Mathews
and Congressman Charles Forster
seem nearest Gov. Hayes. Bob Iu-gersoll
is here, aud is much sought
after and quoted by Southern office
seekers. Ingersoll has assumed quiet,
chivalrous ground, aud does not
know how Hayes can in honor aban-don
Chamberlain and Packard.
Forster is known to be in favor of
allowing the Southern people to
manage their own affairs. Stanley
MathewsJ to-day spoke in the same
direction quite freely, and Sherman
has taken pains to let it be known
that he is not trying to shape the
Southern policy of Mr. Hayes.
The Cabinet held a very long ses-sion
to-day. Some effort was made
to change the Southern situation,
but in what direction is unknown,
and the President was immovable.
All the Secretaries have placed their
resignations in the President’s hands.
Commission—Secret session on the
South Carolina case commenced at
two o’clock, and they adjourned at
nine o’clock, after having voted 8 to
7 to count the State for Hayes and
Wheeler.
Gen. Jno. T. Morgan, of Alabama,
ex-Gov. A. H. Garfield, of Arkan-sas,
ex-Gov. Isham G. Harris, of
Tennessee, and ex-Gov. Bichard
Coke, of Texas, U. S. Senators elect-from
thesr respective States, have
arrived in the city, in anticipation
of an extra session of the senate for
executive business. Hons. B. H.
Hill and L. Z. C. Lamar, U. 8. Sena-tors
elect from their respective
States, being members of the house,
are also here.
The Southern conservatives re-gard
the accession of the above
named gentlemen to the senate as
adding largely to the ability from
the Southern States in that body.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A South Carolina Habeas Corpus.
Columbia, Feb. 27.—The Supreme
Court, room was densely packed this
morning, in anticipation of a decis-ion
in the Tilda Morris habeas cor-pus
case. At eleven o’clock Justices
Willard and Wright, the latter col-ored,
came in, aud the former an-nounced
that the court would take
a recess until 1 p. m., for consulta-tion.
The crowd then dispersed. A
strong guard of negro special con-stables
were stationed across the hall
m front of the Justices’ consulting
room. A deep and subdued excite-ment
prevails.

FROM WASHINGTON.
South Carolina Counted for Hayes--A
Lull in the Excitement.
Rumors About Hayes’ Southern Policy.
Representative Schleicher
to the Front.
Southern Senators Arriving—Gossip
and Notes on the Situation.
Grant Refuses to Make any Change in
His Southern Policy.
"Washington, Feb. 27.—T he letter
telegraphed yesterday cannot be lo--
cated, but it exists, and partly ae-counts
for the progress which has
been allowed to be made in the
count. The Herald’s Washington
special says regarding it:
“There is a letter in town from
Gov. Hayes himself, which approves
in the most direct and explicit man-ner
of the speech of Mr. Foster last
week, in which ho expressed his eon-fident
belief that Haye’s Southern
policy would be such as the people of
Louisiana and South Carolina de-sired.”
The same special says that Sheri-dan
has gone to Columbus to inform
Gov. Hayes of the condition of
things in Louisiana. He is an old
acquaintance of Gov. Hayes, and is
an opponent of Packard.
There were no manifestations of
feeling this morning. Ultra republi-cans
claim that the lull was produced
by protests from commercial centers
against the attempt to defeat the
count on account of the trade dis
turbance which would follow, while
ultra conservatives attribute it to
high assurances that the South will
be treated fairly.
In the commission four hours is
allowed on each side for argument in
the South Carolina case, but it is
thought that hardly half the time
will be used. It is thought that the
commission will take the case by
three o’clock. The House isin Com-mittec
of the Whole on sundry bills.
The Senate re-assembled at ten
o’clock, and in accordance with no-tice
given yesterday, Mr. McDonald
called up the House resolution in
respect to the memory of the late
Speaker Kerr, and appropriate eulo-
S'es were delivered by Messrs. Me-onald,
Wallace, Wright, Bayard,
Booth and Morton, after which the
resolutions were unanimously agreed
to.
Washington, Feb. 27.—House—
Most of the session was spent in con-sideration
of the sundry civil appro-priation
bill, which however was
not completed.
A bill to provide for vacancies in
the office of President and Vice Pres-ident,
that may arise through the
failure of the two houses to count the
electoral vote, was introduced by
Field, of New York, from the com-mittee
of privileges and elections,
and after some discussion it was
passed. The only deviations from a
party vote were in the fact that Pur-man’
of Florida, voted with the
democrats, and 13 democrats, inclu-ding
Hancock, of Texas, and Knott,
of Kentucky, voted with the repub-licans.
The bill provides that in case of
tuch vacancy in the Presidential of-lice,
it shall be filled by the President
of the Senate if there be one, or the
Speaker of the House if there be
one, or by the Secretary of State in
office at the time the vacancy hap-pens.
A motion to suspend the rules and
adopt a resolution recognizing the
democratic governments of Louis-iana
and South Carolina was made
by Schleicher of Texas, but failed
for want of a two-thirds majority.
So also with a resolution offered by
Watterson, of Kentucky, commend-ing
the President for his report and
opinions in support of the Nicholls
government in Louisiana.
The clause to pay Southern mail
contractors for work done before the
war, was restored to the sundry
ciyil bill. The House then took a
recess to ten o’clock to-morrow, by
a vote of 120 to 119.
Senate—A petition from citizens
of Washington to use the rotunda of
the Capitol for the inauguration, was
referred to the committee on build-iugs.
The bill creating a sinking fund
for the Pacific railroad, was post-poned
to December next.
The bill for erecting public build-iugs
at Austin, Texas, passed.
The House bill which passed to-day,
regarding vacancies in the office
of President, was road by title and
referred to the committee on privi-leges
and elections.
John T. Morgan, Senator elect
from Alabama, presented his ere-dentials.
The impreseion still prevails among
employees of the House that a count
will be finally prevented, but in
more thoughtful circles the hope or
fear of it is aboudoned.
Senator Sherman,Stanley Mathews
and Congressman Charles Forster
seem nearest Gov. Hayes. Bob Iu-gersoll
is here, aud is much sought
after and quoted by Southern office
seekers. Ingersoll has assumed quiet,
chivalrous ground, aud does not
know how Hayes can in honor aban-don
Chamberlain and Packard.
Forster is known to be in favor of
allowing the Southern people to
manage their own affairs. Stanley
MathewsJ to-day spoke in the same
direction quite freely, and Sherman
has taken pains to let it be known
that he is not trying to shape the
Southern policy of Mr. Hayes.
The Cabinet held a very long ses-sion
to-day. Some effort was made
to change the Southern situation,
but in what direction is unknown,
and the President was immovable.
All the Secretaries have placed their
resignations in the President’s hands.
Commission—Secret session on the
South Carolina case commenced at
two o’clock, and they adjourned at
nine o’clock, after having voted 8 to
7 to count the State for Hayes and
Wheeler.
Gen. Jno. T. Morgan, of Alabama,
ex-Gov. A. H. Garfield, of Arkan-sas,
ex-Gov. Isham G. Harris, of
Tennessee, and ex-Gov. Bichard
Coke, of Texas, U. S. Senators elect-from
thesr respective States, have
arrived in the city, in anticipation
of an extra session of the senate for
executive business. Hons. B. H.
Hill and L. Z. C. Lamar, U. 8. Sena-tors
elect from their respective
States, being members of the house,
are also here.
The Southern conservatives re-gard
the accession of the above
named gentlemen to the senate as
adding largely to the ability from
the Southern States in that body.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A South Carolina Habeas Corpus.
Columbia, Feb. 27.—The Supreme
Court, room was densely packed this
morning, in anticipation of a decis-ion
in the Tilda Morris habeas cor-pus
case. At eleven o’clock Justices
Willard and Wright, the latter col-ored,
came in, aud the former an-nounced
that the court would take
a recess until 1 p. m., for consulta-tion.
The crowd then dispersed. A
strong guard of negro special con-stables
were stationed across the hall
m front of the Justices’ consulting
room. A deep and subdued excite-ment
prevails.
